My Eulogy April 2015

For a class I'm to write my eulogy
makes me a little uncomfortable
but so what. I plan on living until
I'm 120, in good health and good spirits.

Carolyn was a great poet and artist
that's what she really wanted.
Garrison Keeler read her poem
"Where Does the Money Go"
on the Writers' Almanac, her claim
to fame. Her paintings displayed.

But for almost 50 years she was successful
in Corporate America. The President of three
banks, without a college degree; a teacher and
substitute teacher, without a college degree.
Married twice, with four children by her first
husband. Twelve grandchildren and to date,
eight great grandchildren. Her heritage was Spainish
from the Basque area of Spain, French, Dutch, German, Danish

She was born December 29 to Katherine Hendrick Jensen
and Ronald Jensen in El Paso Texas but left there for
California when she was in high school. From
California she moved to Colorado in 1993, where
she lived continuously. She loved her family, nature, camping,
ancient history, ruins, adventure, change.

On................she stepped through an open portal
into another dimension.  A big change for her, a big adventure.
She was studying to become a Practitioner with Religious
Science through the Center for Spiritual Living, Colorado Springs.
Where she lives now, she does not need to be certified.
She does not need any degrees, or accomplishments.

Her wishes were that her ashes be scattered at the North Rim,
of the Grand Canyon, at Chaco Canyon, and the top of Pikes Peak,
and at the confluence in Lake City, Colorado.
